What is the shelf life of Bigelow tea?

The shelf life of Bigelow tea depends on the type of tea purchased. Generally, our black, green, and herbal teas have a shelf life of up to two years when stored properly in a cool, dry place away from moisture, heat, and sunlight. However, flavor and aroma may gradually diminish over time. To ensure the best quality, we recommend consuming our delicate herbal teas within one year of purchase. For our powdered teas, such as matcha, it is best to use them within six months to maintain their vibrant taste. Nevertheless, we encourage customers to check the "best by" date printed on each individual tea box or packet for precise information regarding shelf life.
